Re: Really good job with battery usage

 

I don't think it needs calibration as it died yesterday was left on charge off the night beforehand.  I don't understand how it could have a reasonable battery life before the update. Something changed. It could be a specific application I have installed which you or others haven't got.  I need to investigate this further with some of the technology at my disposal 
Thanks

      Android version of this phone. 40-50% for 1 day with Wi-Fi, GPS
      and Bluetooth on. Normal usage: web surfing, playing a bit, phone
      calls, texting.

      till the phone turns off. Then charge it without turning it on.

        battery life is so poor it's not even lasting a full day.  As
        before the update it lasted me two days without charge. I use my
        phone for a few texts, Web surfing and calendar events. Leaving
        WiFi off and Bluetooth on.  Most if the time my phone is left on
        standby while at work.

        since OTA-7?
